Antonio stared at Lu Fan in shock. The holy light emanating from Lu Fan was definitely not fake; he could clearly feel the gentle resonance of the holy light within him.
Being able to resonate with so much energy made him wonder if Lu Fan was actually human.
Antonio frowned deeply. He finally realized that perhaps the young man below really had the potential to gain the Dragon Vein's approval.
He couldn't help but turn his head again to look towards the observation deck. The fact that the Star Lord of Zhongzhou hadn't made a move just now didn't mean that the new Star Lord wouldn't make a move after appearing.
Having already expended a lot of energy, he was no longer confident of defeating Li Yu head-on.
Once the dragon vein successfully rises, the situation will become even more complex and difficult to handle given the cooperation of the two star lords.
Just as everyone's attention was drawn to Lu Fan, the big fat dragon suddenly spat out a mouthful of pink energy.
"puff--"
A cloud of energy, like a smoke bomb, quickly dispersed, turning into a thick fog.
A large amount of pink mist once again enveloped the swamp, as if it were veiled.
However, this time the fog was thicker and denser than before, to the point that people standing on the viewing platform in the distance could no longer see the specific situation in the swamp.
Seeing this, Antonio dared not be careless and immediately used his holy light to seal his mouth and nose to prevent the mist from being inhaled.
But the pink mist continued to erode his holy light defense.
Every wisp of mist that came into contact with the holy light made a sizzling sound, and even its corrosive power increased.
Just as Antonio was resisting the pink mist, several figures suddenly emerged from the black shadows at the edge of the swamp.
The thick pink mist had almost completely blocked their vision.
"Damn it, hiding for so long almost suffocated me!" The bald man cursed the moment he appeared.
The man wearing the white mask ignored his complaints and instead focused intently on the depths of the mist. His eyes quickly turned into vertical pupils, allowing him to clearly see the battle situation in the swamp through the fog.
Realizing the masked man was right next to him, the bald man, who had been about to hurl a few more insults, quickly suppressed his anger and instead apologized in a low voice:
"Brother Lian Rang, I'm sorry, I wasn't talking about you."
Seeing the confrontation between Antonio and the Dragon Vein reach its climax, the masked man known as 'Lianrang' finally couldn't hold back any longer.
He took two steps forward and suddenly gave the order:
"Let's get started."
Ice Rose was somewhat surprised that Lian Rang would choose this moment to act. Maintaining her usual cautious approach, she asked:
"Plan Number 1"
Before Lian Rang could answer, the bald man beside him immediately stopped his shaking leg, strode forward, and excitedly looked at the observation deck, saying:
"We can finally take action, Lian Rang. Shall we go and kill Li Yu now?"
The bald man rubbed his hands together, stretching his somewhat stiff body, as if he couldn't wait to get started.
Then, realizing what Ice Rose meant, he continued to ask:
"When killing Li Yu, should we attack him one by one, or all at once?"
"Li Yu?" Lian Rang murmured the name, but his gaze never left the dragon vein.
He smirked slightly, letting out a sneer, seemingly unconcerned about the mission objective.
"No need to go. Once I obtain the Dragon Vein, how could Li Yu be my match?"
The bald man was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then a look of hesitation appeared on his face.
Even Ice Rose noticed that Lian Rang's reaction was a bit off, so she immediately stepped forward and tried to probe:
"Lian Rang, you..."
"Hehe, you think I'm poisoned?" Lian Rang chuckled, directly interrupting Bing Qiangwei's question.
"Let me tell you, I'm perfectly sober right now!"
Lian Rang stared intently at the dragon vein, his body trembling slightly with excitement, and an aura that inexplicably sent chills down his spine.
His gaze into the pink mist revealed a frantic longing:
"And I've never been this clear-headed before."
Xiao Qi gently grabbed Bing Qiangwei's arm, her eyes filled with fear. She dared not look at Lian Rang, nor dared to speak.
Upon hearing Lian Rang's reply, Bing Qiangwei felt a chill run down her spine; things had progressed beyond what she had anticipated.
If she had known that Lian Rang would also lose control, she might have even abandoned her original assassination mission.
Or rather, she must have called all the other assassins along with her before she came this time.
Lian Rang also noticed the strange expressions on their faces, and his own expression instantly darkened, filling him with a sense of oppression.
"What? My words no longer carry weight?"
Ice Rose took a deep breath, suppressing her inner unease, and tried to soften her tone as much as possible, attempting to persuade Lian Rang to get back on track:
"Lian Rang, our mission this time is to assassinate Li Yu. This is an order from above. If we change the plan without authorization, we won't be able to explain ourselves when we get back."
Lian Rang snorted coldly, his eyes filled with madness:
"What orders from above? No matter who they are, they are worthless in front of the dragon vein!"
His voice carried an undeniable resolve, as if he had made up his mind to seize the dragon vein at all costs:
"As long as I can obtain the dragon vein and become the strongest person in the world, what am I afraid of? If you don't want to follow me, you can leave now."
The bald man hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not dare to refuse and stood behind Lian Rang.
He knew Lian Rang's methods well; to leave now would be tantamount to courting death.
Seeing this, Lian Rang nodded in satisfaction, turned around, patted the bald man on the shoulder, and said earnestly:
